Just used the vw online chat (for the first time). My edition 45 is currently in the build phase from the 13th of September. They said the build phase can take up to 15 working days and it shouldn't be long now before an update and to contact them again next week for an update if I wanted to 🙂
I didn't think I'd be seeing it till next year so this has put a smile on my face.
I ordered on the first bank holiday in April (UK) pure white, HK, pan roof, DCC, head up display, winter pack, boot liner.
